Continuous images of ordered continua are investigated. The paper gives various properties of their monotone images and inverse limits of their inverse systems (or sequences) with monotone bonding surjections. Some factorization theorems are provided. Special attention is given to one-dimensional spaces which are continuous images of arcs and, among them, various classes of rim-finite continua. The methods of proofs include cyclic element theory, T-set approximations and null-family decompositions. The paper brings also new properties of cyclic elements and T-sets in locally connected continua, in general.

These papers survey the developments in General Topology and the applications of it which have taken place since the mid 1980s. The book may be regarded as an update of some of the papers in the Handbook of Set-Theoretic Topology (eds. Kunen/Vaughan, North-Holland, 1984), which gives an almost complete picture of the state of the art of Set Theoretic Topology before 1984. In the present volume several important developments are surveyed that surfaced in the period 1984-1991. This volume may also be regarded as a partial update of Open Problems in Topology (eds. van Mill/Reed, North-Holland, 1990). Solutions to some of the original 1100 open problems are discussed and new problems are posed.

In this paper a [italic capital]K-theoretic classification is given of the real rank zero [italic capital]C*-algebras that can be expressed as inductive limits of sequences of finite direct sums of matrix algebras over finite connected graphs (possibly with multiple vertices). The special case that the graphs are circles is due to Elliott.

The [script capital]I-density topology is a generalization of the ordinary density topology to the setting of category instead of measure. This work involves functions which are continuous when combinations of the [script capital]I-density, deep [script capital]I-density, density and ordinary topology are used on the domain and range. In the process of examining these functions, the [script capital]I-density and deep-[script capital]I-density topologies are deeply explored and the properties of these function classes as semigroups are considered.

We define an orthogonal basis in the space of real-valued functions of a random graph, and prove a functional limit theorem for this basis. Limit theorems for other functions then follow by decomposition. The results include limit theorems for the two random graph models [italic]G[subscript italic]n, [subscript italic]p and [italic]G[subscript italic]n, [subscript italic]m as well as functional limit theorems for the evolution of a random graph and results on the maximum of a function during the evolution. Both normal and non-normal limits are obtained. As examples, applications are given to subgraph counts and to vertex degrees.

In this work, Han and Sawyer extend Littlewood-Paley theory, Besov spaces, and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces to the general setting of a space of homogeneous type. For this purpose, they establish a suitable analogue of the Calder 'on reproducing formula and use it to extend classical results on atomic decomposition, interpolation, and T1 and Tb theorems. Some new results in the classical setting are also obtained: atomic decompositions with vanishing b-moment, and Littlewood-Paley characterizations of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with only half the usual smoothness and cancellation conditions on the approximate identity.

This work studies abelian branched coverings of smooth complex projective surfaces from the topological viewpoint. Geometric information about the coverings (such as the first Betti numbers of a smooth model or intersections of embedded curves) is related to topological and combinatorial information about the base space and branch locus. Special attention is given to examples in which the base space is the complex projective plane and the branch locus is a configuration of lines.

This book is designed for the reader who wants to get a general view of the terminology of General Topology with minimal time and effort. The reader, whom we assume to have only a rudimentary knowledge of set theory, algebra and analysis, will be able to find what they want if they will properly use the index. However, this book contains very few proofs and the reader who wants to study more systematically will find sufficiently many references in the book.Key features:• More terms from General Topology than any other book ever published• Short and informative articles• Authors include the majority of top researchers in the field• Extensive indexing of terms

In chapter one we address the classification of finite subgroups of [italic capitals]SL([bold]3,[double-struck capital]C). This is followed by a general method to find invariant polynomials and their relations of finite subgroups of [italic capitals]GL([bold]3,[double-struck capital]C). Lastly, we recall some properties of quotient varieties and prove that [double-struck capital]C3/[italic capital]G has isolated singularities if and only if [italic capital]G is abelian and 1 is not an eigenvalue of g in [italic capital]G.
